The accused told the court that he did not work, as he was currently an inmate at Corradino Correctional Facility. He had been jailed for three and a half years in September, after admitting to identical charges and had claimed, during that arraignment, to have resorted to a crime as he was unable to find employment.

The accused informed the court that he was not going to be requesting bail, as he was presently being detained in prison, where he was serving a prison sentence.
